I cannot installl Media Protal svn.
The latest release works fine. After the instalation of svn snapshot any attempt to execute Configuration.exe results in a crash. Attempt to execute Media Portal also results in a crash.
I tried on different days with different snapshots. I tried uninstalling the svn and the release. The release works for me, the snapshot does not.

Here are my logs:

Try renaming your current Music Database after installing the SVN and before running the config programm.
Rename e.g. to MusicDatabaseV7.db3.backup.
That should work and the config should create a new db.
The db schema has changed so the stable release version is not compatible with the one used in SVN

Thanks. Following your advice I deleted the db3 files under "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\database\". Unfortunatly this did not fix it.
I also tried everything all over again after renaming the directory "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\" to get a clean installation. The problem is still there.

I tried it now on another computer of mine. Got the same result...
Strange.
Are there registry keys which are not deleted when uninstalling? I would like try an install as clean as can be.

Hi,
To get a clean install, uninstall MP, delete Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal folder, reboot & install MP 0.2.2.0, then latest SVN & then run configuration/setup. If you get an error, try to move that away(if you can) & continue to install with clicking next, next without entering anything...

Regards
Roy
